Confessions of a Failed Southern Lady
Florence King
Confessions Of A Failed Southern Lady. When Florence King was born, her Granny, a would-be Virginia grande dame, moved in. Anybody could have a family, writes Miss King. She wanted a race all to herself. Granny’s dream of raising the perfect Southern belle failed dismally with her own daughter, a chain-smoking, baseball-playing tomboy given to wild expletives. Florence is Granny’s last hope …
Florence King’s laugh-out-loud memoir follows her progression from her rowdy and unconventional upbringing at home with her mismatched parents and hilarious grandmother, to finding her independence at college and her burgeoing sexuality. It’s not all laughs and there are some poignant moments that will bring tears to the eyes, but this is a feel-good book that stays with you a long time after.
